South Dakota Player with Heart: Ty Oyen

Ty Oyen has been named a Beck’s Player with Heart due to his dedication to his school, community, and the agriculture industry. Ty has spent his entire life farming. He doesn't see it as a job, but instead as a lifestyle that he will never give up. After football practice, he goes straight to the field. When he's asked about it, he says farming is not work to him and that he enjoys it a lot. Ty is the captain of the football team, a team leader in basketball, and participates in track. He is also part of FFA and FBLA. Ty enjoys the teamwork aspect of these activities, as everyone gets along and works together towards one goal. Ty is involved in several community activities, including with his church. He and his brother are often called on by their pastor if the church requires manual labor. His family also acts as their area's mechanics, so Ty often helps diagnose and fix farm equipment. Ty plans to attend South Dakota State University to study ag business and play football.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
